And I wanna say, just in general, be careful with the size and particularly the number of actions in your posts.  When there's multiple characters in the same area, you can't possibly respond to everything and eventually it will become a clusterfuck of events whose timeline is impossible to objectively decide.  

An example is Michael putting the bill on teh counter, and the narration in Zoey's post remarking that there wasn't anyone there.  When I made the post, Ellion's post had come [i]before[/i] it, and in it Zoey had already returned to the front counter, but because of the large number of things happening, events got confused and it stopped making sense.

This sort of thing happens a lot when posts all try to react with each other.  You have to be careful to keep the order of events clear, and this is the major disadvantage of longer posts, and the reason I typically advocate smaller ones for scenes with multiple players.
